Special Topics in Chemistry: ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY Spring, 2015 CHEM 4980 Section 21 TR 4:00-5:15 Instructor: Dr Andy Jorgensen
Description: This course will focus on the chemistry of air, water, and soil with specific emphasis on the
effects of human-made chemical products and by-products on the environment. Connections with Green Chemistry will be highlighted. The course will be beneficial to chemists, chemical and environmental engineers, and environmental scientists. Specific topics are listed below in approximate order of coverage: Introduction to Environmental Problems, Sustainability, and Green Chemistry Triple bottom line; tragedy of the commons; systems thinking; life-cycle assessment; cradle-to-cradle; carbon footprint; ecological footprint; water footprint; external costs; history of environmental regulations; risk/exposure/hazard Stratospheric Chemistry: The Ozone Layer (Chapter 1) The physics, chemistry, and biology of UV; formation and destruction of ozone; the Chapman mechanism; catalytic processes of ozone destruction The Ozone Holes (Chapter 2) Dobson units; the chemistry of ozone depletion; the chemicals that cause ozone destruction; CFC replacements; international agreements The Chemistry of Ground-Level Air Pollution (Chapter 3) The chemical fate of trace gases in air; the photochemical smog process; improving air quality; limiting VOC and NO emissions; catalytic converters; sulfur-based emissions; particulates in air pollution Environmental & Health Consequences of Polluted Air-Outdoors & Indoors (Chapter 4) Acid rain; Outdoor Pollutants; Indoor Air Pollution The Greenhouse Effect (Chapter 5) Mechanism of the greenhouse effect; greenhouse gases; the climate-modifying effects of aerosols; geo-engineering Energy Use, Fossil Fuels, CO 2 Emissions, and Global Climate Change (Chapter 6) Global energy use and energy sources; CO 2 sequestration; predicted effects of climate change on human health; international agreements Biofuels and Other Alternative Fuels (Chapter 7) Bio-ethanol; bio-butanol; hydrogen; synthesis gas; methanol; fuel cells
